Thanksgiving is now behind us. I ate a lot of turkey and said what I was thankful for,but shouldn’t we be thankful everyday? I took some time to really reflect on what I am thankful for this year.
1.Family
Friends come and go but family is forever. The death of grandfather in 2016 really rocked my family. Our bond has grown stronger and I am so thankful for it! I don’t know who I would be without them.
2. Education
I never imagined that I would go to the school of my choice, but here I am! I’m so thankful for the opportunity to get to further my education at JSU! Go Cocks!
3. My Roommate
I seriously can’t even explain how thankful I am for this girl. We were strangers at one point now I can’t imagine my life without her in it. She was my very first friend here in Jacksonville and she’s now my best friend!
4. Church
First Baptist Church of Jacksonville hosts Engage JSU every Monday night. It is hands down the best college ministry and I will attend until I graduate from here in 4 years!
5. Friends
I’m still working on putting myself out there and meeting new people, but the people I have met thus far have been some of the best. I’m thankful for the friends I’m making and the friends to come.
6. Home
I’m so thankful for home. No I don’t mean the actually house that I grew up in. I mean the town that I grew up in, it still houses all of my friends and family. I’m always so thankful to have home to run back to.
7. Breaks
I know this seems funny but I am seriously so thankful for breaks. The week before Thanksgiving break I think I only went to like four classes! College is hard, breaks are needed!
8. Financial Aid
See 2. Without financial aid I would be working my butt off trying to pay for college. I know there are people out there doing exactly that and I applaud you! I would probably have about 5 breakdowns a week if I was in your shoes.
9. Naps
Yall dont understand. I love to sleep and naps are probably my favorite pastimes. Whenever an application asks about my hobbies I put naps. I’m really not kidding!
10. My God
My God is an awesome God. Without him I wouldn’t have anything to be thankful for. I can probably come up with 10,000 reasons why I am thankful but my God and our friendship trumps them all.
